Happy Mothers Day to all you mother's out there.  Today was a great day, but I have to back up to yesterday because that is where my Mother's Day really began. I had flown to Sacramento with my friend Janae', to attend the funeral of our dear friends mother. We got home pretty late that night and I was worried that my home was going to be a mess and there would be no time for me to clean it up before my entire family arrived on Mother's Day for dinner. I was so surprised when I walked in the house to find it completely spotless, and not just husband kind of clean (because we all know they don't clean like we do) but my kind of clean, from dusting to toilets. It was the best gift I could have been given. Then on Sunday morning,  I was woken up to a phone call from my Australian Missionary, which was so great.  He sounds so good, but with only 5 months to go, I can tell that he is getting a little "trunky".  After church, my family arrived and we had an amazing dinner, and a great time visiting while the cousins played with each other. I have an amazing mother, and I am so grateful to her for all that she does for me.  She has taught me so much throughout my life, and I appreciate her more than she will ever know.  I love you Mom.  What a fabulous day.
